According to geopolitocs “experts”, what I’m inclined to believe is that every country is poised to become a major player, lol.

I don’t see anything going well for either continent to be fair. South America being used for big transit and trade projects is merely fulfilling the purposes of foreign powers. They might flourish for some time with such initiatives but I think it takes more than just that.

With (para)military groups roaming places of conflict, Africa is still far from achieving anything durable, not without stability. Intil it rids itself from the colonial legacy and, more urgently, neocolonialism, Africa will continue to suffer.
